After this incident, Wang Sheng had questions, such as why the shopkeeper of Mo Yatang was related to his aunt, whether there was any entanglement, etc.
He just kept it in mind. Firstly, he had no power and he was afraid that he would not be able to find out clearly. Secondly, both the enemy and us were in the open, and he did not run the catering, pharmaceutical or other industries. Even if there were insidious people, Don't be afraid of any moves either.
The main sources of income for the family are the farmland cultivated by Wang Wenqiu and the embroidery woven by Liu Zhaoxing, plus the books he copied.
Among them, the farmland cultivated by Wang Wenqiu had been purchased by Wang Sheng as early as half a month ago. Go to six liang.
With these four acres, even if Liu Zhaoxing lost his job, it would still be enough for his family to survive except for Wang Sheng.
Moreover, although the shopkeeper of Xiufang and Moyatang know each other, they are not friendly.
Two years ago, Shopkeeper Cao of Xiufang launched a new pencil case style. He originally wanted to cooperate with bookstores in this town and gave samples to Qingqing Bookstore and Moyatang.
Unexpectedly, Mo Yatang not only refused to cooperate, but also copied the style of the pencil case. As a result, the money earned from the sales of pencil cases dropped significantly.
The two families are currently only maintaining superficial peace, so Liu Zhaoxing does not have to worry about losing his job.
Although Wang Sheng thought so, he still couldn't worry about matters at home when he was about to travel far away. Taking advantage of the opportunity to give his notes to the clan leader, he asked him to take care of them on his behalf.
"Clan leader..."
Before Wang Sheng could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Wang Yangkai.
"Hey! It's annoying to call me like that, just call me uncle."
The field holiday was coming to an end, and Wang Yangkai was about to prepare to receive the government servants who came and went. He had just dealt with After finishing the matters at hand, Wang Sheng came looking for books.
"Grandpa, these are some reading tips that I have memorized after listening to Master Xu's lectures in class. This time I decided to go to a government school after my field break, so I will give this to you as well. For the disciples in the clan to borrow."
Wang Sheng moved his hands forward and presented the book to Wang Yangkai.
"Okay!"
Wang Yangkai took the object, squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully, and suddenly said "ok" after reading the first few pages.
He put down the books and asked in a loud voice: "You are going to Fucheng to study. Have you prepared all the things you need to bring? Remember to come to me if you want a voucher from me. There is no way to get to Fucheng." . ”
“Thank you for your concern. I plan to prepare these items in two days.”
Wang Sheng first thanked the uncle for his kindness and then expressed his intention.
"I have two main things to do here today. The first thing is to hand this thing over to Grandpa. The second thing is to trouble Grandpa. In the future, I may have to entrust you with writing letters home and other matters. Take care of it.”
Wang ShengxiongHolding hands in front of each other, they said to each other.
Except for merchants who have special channels, letters are mainly sent through acquaintances.
When people from Wangjia Village go out to carry letters for others, they usually give them to the village chief, who then notifies the family to come and pick up the letters.
"It should be like this."
As soon as Wang Yangkai responded, he suddenly remembered that his old friend's beloved disciple was going to study at the Fu School. He heard him mention Wang Sheng a while ago. .
So, he suggested: "Qingyun has missed you very much recently. Go and see him before leaving."
"Yes!"
On the fourth day after Wang Sheng returned, he went to find Master Xu and explained his plan to go to Fucheng. Master Xu said at that time: "Good."
The two said nothing to each other.
I am going to Fucheng now, so I should go there again to say goodbye to my husband.
So, he hurried home, took some strong tea at home, and went to find his wife.
Master Xu loves tea. Wang Sheng discovered this a while ago. In addition to books, his residence was filled with tea cans of various sizes on the table.
But now, due to the frost, the price of small seeds in the mountains is very high, only eight taels per catty. Wang Sheng does not have so much free money to buy, and he can only express his feelings for the wild tea he picked from the mountains. .
During the field holiday, Master Xu was at his residence and had half a day to spare.
When Wang Sheng came looking for him, he didn't see him, so he said: "Come in."
"Master Xu."
"Sit down. "
Wang Sheng bowed to Master Xu, and then mixed the tea he brought into the bottles.
If you give it directly to the Master, he will definitely not accept it.
This chapter is not finished yet, click on the next page to continue reading.
After Wang Sheng finished these things, he found a nearby stool and sat down.
Xu Yunran had been able to catch the disciple's little moves before, so how could he not see Wang Sheng secretly put the items he brought into it.
He smiled helplessly: "You, you, are just like your senior brother."
"Senior brother?"
Xu Yunran did not answer Wang Sheng's words. He got up and picked up a letter and handed it to Wang Sheng.
"Open it and take a look."
Wang Sheng took the letter and saw "Wang Sheng personally writes" on the envelope. It was indeed written to him, but he did not know anyone from the other village. , it is inevitable to be surprised when receiving the letter.
"Junior Brother Wang Sheng: Seeing the words is like seeing the face."
After reading Wang Sheng's article, I realized who this senior brother was. He was the first disciple of Xu Yunran to win the imperial examination. , so is Chu Minghuai.
He first congratulated Wang Sheng, and then revealed that he was now serving as the director of Yongzhou Academy. He asked Wang Sheng if he wanted to study in Yongzhou Academy. He could help register for the admission test after the field break.
Wang Sheng understood that the so-called senior brother Chu Minghuai would know, but it was Master Xu who sent him a letter informing him of the details.
This Yongzhou Academy is the most famous academy among several nearby provinces.
Many people who are studying have no way to register. Brother Chu Minghuai is a caring person who can write back and tell people to help register.
But Wang Sheng had already decided to go to Fuzhou Academy, so there was no further trouble and he changed his appointment to Yongzhou Academy.
After reading the letter, he thanked Master Xu and said, "Thank you Master and Senior Brother Chu for your kindness. I have made up my mind. I will go to Changle Mansion for a period of three years. Regardless of whether I win or not, the three-year period will be Come and think about it later."
"I wrote to Minghuai when I learned that you had the case, for fear of delaying your future."
Xu Yunran waved his hand and continued. He said, "It's good if you succeed. I'll write a letter to your senior brother later."
Wang Sheng's heart was surging.
The closest relatives in the world may harm themselves due to various interests.
People who are not related by blood can plan a future for themselves after only five years of master-disciple relationship.
An ancient saying goes: Once a teacher, always a father.
This sentence makes sense.
After Wang Sheng said goodbye to Master Xu, he took advantage of the last few days to go to the clan leader to sign documents, took them to the town to change directions, and carefully prepared many things, such as pens, inks, paper, inkstones, It’s not easy to buy books and the like directly from Changle Mansion, as they are too expensive.
Wang Ye and Wang Yan decided to go to the county school to study, so they inevitably suffered from the division of the two places. Ever since he knew that Wang Sheng was going to a private school, he dragged Wang Yan to stay at Wang Sheng's house every day.
Wang Yan himself was a scholar and had the qualifications to enter the county school, while Wang Ye paid the tuition fee by himself. If he is a scholar, he must study in the county school and cannot go to the government school.
Wang Wenqiu was worried. Wang Sheng went to Fucheng alone and had to deal with enrollment matters.
Wang Wenqiu hurriedly finished everything and came to Wang Sheng's room to look for him.
"Sheng'er, your mother has already asked Canhui for a carriage. I will go with you on the day of departure. I will come back by myself then."
Wang Wenqiu looked embarrassed. , but still made up his mind and said to Wang Sheng.
"Will it delay dad?"
Wang Sheng has seen the state of the family in the past few days.
Wang Wenqiu often frowned. Although he scolded Liu Zhaoxing for being a loving mother and a loser, he visited Wang Sheng's house more times every day than Liu Zhaoxing.
Needless to say, Liu Zhaoxing wanted to let Wang Sheng eat all the things that Wang Sheng would not be able to eat in the past few days.
I had chicken soup every day for seven days in a row.
Although it is delicious, Wang Sheng cannot bear to eat it every day.
I don’t know what Liu Zhaoxing stewed, but he had nosebleeds directly, butThe whole family was not frightened.
Wang Jingjing was in a daze next to Wang Sheng, and would not give up her seat even if brother Wang Yan came.
Wang Jingjing didn't bother her too much. It was Wang Sheng who saw her aside and was afraid that she would be bored, so he specially showed her the "Local Chronicle" bought by Changle Mansion.
She accepted the book and happily agreed.
